RED Roof bar, Rooftop bar at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, South Africa.
This elevated venue features a prominent red drinks van, an outdoor pool, and panoramic views spanning the Atlantic Ocean, Table Mountain, and Cape Town's city skyline from the ninth floor of the Radisson RED Hotel.
The bar operates within the redeveloped Silo District, an area that transformed from old grain storage facilities into a contemporary hub of dining, entertainment, and cultural attractions during Cape Town's urban renewal initiatives.
Regular DJ nights, pool parties, and themed events attract both local residents and international visitors, creating a dynamic social space that reflects Cape Town's modern hospitality scene and contemporary South African entertainment culture.
Open daily from 06:00 to midnight, the venue offers extensive cocktail menus, local wines, craft beers, and shareable snacks including flatbreads and tapas-style dishes, with parking facilities and public transport access nearby.
The distinctive red drinks van serves as both a functional bar station and a visual landmark, making the rooftop instantly recognizable from street level and adding to its branded identity.

Cape Town has developed a growing rooftop bar scene spread across different neighborhoods. These establishments offer elevated vantage points over Table Mountain, the ocean, and the urban landscape. Most are located in the central districts and along the coastline, serving cocktails, regional wines, and international cuisine. The rooftops range from hotel panoramic terraces to standalone bars in converted buildings. Many open in the late afternoon and remain active into the night, offering both Atlantic sunsets and evening city panoramas. The atmosphere varies between relaxed lounges and more animated venues with DJ sets. These locations have become popular meeting points, both for locals after work and visitors looking to experience the city from a different perspective. Reservations are recommended, particularly on weekends and during peak season.
